Managing fraud risk: prevent, detect, and respond
Managing fraud risk differs from other risks as these intentional misconduct are specifically designed to evade detection. Organisations need to realise the importance of addressing fraud risks strategically and move away from being reactive, to adopting a proactive approach.
Understanding fraud
Fraud, an intentional act of deception for financial or personal gain to the disadvantage of others, is an issue faced by all organisations regardless of size, industry, or location. Fraud manifests itself in many different forms and originates from sources both internal and external to an organisation.
